The Ram Bagh Palace
The beautiful Ram Bagh Palace is in Rajasthan's capital Jaipur. The state capital is known as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stone used exclusively in the walled city. Built by Maharaja Jai Singh, the notable astronomer, this city is 260 years old.
Ram Bagh Palace is now a luxury hotel and named after Maharaja Swai Ram Singh II (1835 -80) who organized it into a hunting lodge and gave it its name Ram Bagh or the Garden of Ram. More rooms were added during 1887 to accommodate the Royal Guests of Maharaja Madho Singh and it was transformed into a luxurious 26 rooms mansion. In 1931 Maharaja Mannish enlarged and modernized the palace. 1n 1940 when Maharaja Mansingh married the ravishing Princess Gayatri Devi, he revamped the Royal Suites.
The 106 elegantly decorated rooms have been done up in traditional Rajasthani style with 4 special princely suites, of course with all modern amenities. You can go utterly decadent in the Maharaja Suite with a large canopied bed, Maharani Suite with mirrored bathroom and Princess Suite with fountains and private terrace garden. What's even more beautiful is the sound of peacocks as you awaken every morning.
